TO WHO IT MAY COCERN:

.Be it known that I, MARCUS GOULD, oi' the city of' New York, and Stateof New York, have invented neivV and useful Improvements in Devices forCooling Beer, Wort, Ardent Spirits, and the like; and I do herebydeclaro the following to be a full and exact description of the same,reference being had tothe drawings that accompany and form a part ofthese specifications, in Which- Figure I is a perspective View of theapparatus. x

Figure 2 is a vertical section, showing the passages for the liquor, theWater, and the air.

Letter A, space, in which the heer or other liquor iiows; letter B,space in which the Water Hows; letter C, air-passages; letter D,achimney; letter cl, point where-the 4water enters; letter e, place ofexit for the water.

The object of my invention is to provide a device Afor cooling beer orother liquors in a much more rapid and perfect manner than hasheretofore been donc, and at the same time have the dcvice: compactaudnot expensive, and all its manipula-tions simple andeasilylperformed. l

The structure is as follows:- Around the centraliehimney D is arrangedspirally a wide, 'shallow channel for the iiow o the liquid to becooled, as may be seen in`iigl 1. 'Immediately beneath, and inconnection with'I this channel, is arranged a close and wide channelcold water, for .cooling purposes. This space continues its spiralcourse with the channel A' around the chimney. At it h L are spaces forlett-ing air pass into the chimney D.

The operation is as follows: At J the hot wort or the liquor to hecooled is poured in by constant stream.

This spreads itseli` out over the wide channel A, and, as it on's on inits course around the chimney D, a constant current of nir will flowfrom without inwards at e, and, passing over and in close contactwiththe hot liquor, will rapidly cool it, and escape into thc chimney D,carrying off the deleterious gases, and giving a purity and quality tothe liquor that cannot be obtained by methods heretofore adopted. Stillfurther, cold: water is made to flow in at d, and talco its coursespirally round and round beneath and inycontact with tlref bottom of thechannel A, producing a rapidand general cooling. It will he observedthat the water enters near where the liquor leaves, and, boing cold, itfollows that the liquor will be nell cooled as it leaves the apparatus.The water, it ivill be readily seen, flows in an opposite direction tothat of the beer or liquor. The amount of cold water made to flowthrough the space B in any given time will he regulated by the pressureput upon it. The quantity of air made to pass over the liquor and up thechimney D, may be regulated by the degree of draught given to thechimney. Thus wc have tivo convenient methods oi' regulating thecapacity of 'any given machine for cooling purposes. To cause the streamto distribute itself equally over the surface of the bottom of thegutter or channel A, and not, by centrifugal force, be carried too muchtowards the periphery of the circles,

the bottom of said channel is inclined upwards slightly from centre tocircumfcrence.A

I believe the drawings will sufficiently illust-rate whatever more maybe required for a full understanding of the structure and mode ofoperating my invention. I might remark, however, that the Wi-lth of thechannel A may be more or less, as circumstances require; generallyIshonld make it from three to five feet in diameter,

and from three to live feet high.

What I claim as oi' my invention, and desire to secure by -LettersPatent, is

1. The channel A, in combinati-on with the air-passages C, either withor without the water-passages D, :1s and for the purposes specified.

2. The air-passages C and the chimney D, when arranged( and operatinfjrwith the channel A and waterpassage B, substantially as described andfor the purposes specified.

In testimonv whereof have signed my name to this specication in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

MARCUS GOULD.
